ARO will soon post an announcement seeking candidates for Program
Manager in Physical/Theoretical Chemistry. That announcement will
appear at www.cpol.army.mil or www.usajobs.opm.gov sometime at end
April/beginning May. The candidate will be asked to fill in an on-line
resume and that is crucial: the system will make its first cut of
eligible candidates from that resume and, if the information there does
not relate specifically to the elements of the job announcement, it is
unlikely to survive.
ARO will likely seek both junior (students very near their PhD, post-docs, very junior faculty) and senior candidates. ARO will look for people trained at the PhD level in Physical/Theoretical Chemistry. Published research in the generally accepted literature will help. One of our colleagues at NC State, Prof. Peter Fedkiw, might be able to advise you. Questions regarding the open position(s) contact. | ||||||||

The Design for the Environment Program partners with industry and other stakeholders to make the Agency's tools and expertise available so that human health and the environment can be factored into decision-making. Our programs promote "best practices" in chemical use, conduct life cycle assessment and evaluate the environmental and human health profiles of alternatives under consideration by industry. In the DfE Formulator Program, we collaborate with manufacturers of blended chemical products (like laundry detergents, industrial cleaners and floor coatings) to improve their human health and environmental profile. The work involves developing profiles on the characteristics of individual product ingredients (p-chem properties, biodegradation, health and environmental toxicities, etc.)-based on existing data and estimation models-and recommending safer substitutes for chemicals of concern. When a product has ingredients with a more positive health and environmental profile than others in its class, DfE offers the manufacturer recognition through partnership. A chemistry or chemical engineering background would be helpful, but not essential. Graduate and undergraduate-level applicants will be welcome. Full-time internships are preferred, but part-time would be considered. Internships could last as long as a year. Please submit a resume to Clive Davies, Design for the Environment Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, at davies.clive@epa.gov . |
